Klappentext
NEW YORK TIMESBEST SELLER
Named a Fall Read by Vogue, Esquire, The Washington Post, TIME, Vanity Fair and O, the Oprah Magazine. One of Daily Mail and Financial Times's Best Books of 2018.
"There are very, very few people who occupy the ground that Leonard Cohen walks on." -BONO
The Flame is the final work from Leonard Cohen, the revered poet and musician whose fans span generations and whose work is celebrated throughout the world. Featuring poems, excerpts from his private notebooks, lyrics, and hand-drawn self-portraits, The Flame offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist.
A reckoning with a life lived deeply and passionately, with wit and panache, The Flame is a valedictory work.
"This volume contains my father's final efforts as a poet," writes Cohen's son, Adam Cohen, in his foreword. "It was what he was staying alive to do, his sole breathing purpose at the end."
Leonard Cohen died in late 2016. But "each page of paper that he blackened," in the words of his son, "was lasting evidence of a burning soul."
Biografie
Leonard Cohen, geboren 1934 in Montreal, als Sohn jüdischer Eltern, ist Sänger und Musiker - und vor allem ein großer Poet. Er begann seine künstlerische Laufbahn 1956 mit dem Gedichtband "Let Us Compare Mythologies" und veröffentlichte zahlreiche Bücher, darunter zwei Romane, und 17 Schallplatten. Im März 2008 wurde Cohen in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen. 2011 erhielt er den spanischen "Prinz-von-Asturien-Preis" für Literatur.
